Roots And Wings chords by Jill Johnson

Chords with lyrics

C majorC
Her mom and dad grew up in this town
C majorC
Married after school and settled down
   FF
Like most 'round here, bought a little ground
  C majorC
and planted roots.

   C majorC
Her brother Mark works at daddy's store
C majorC
Sister Connie's workin' on kid number four
  FF
But Rose hit eighteen and hit that door
 C majorC
and she flew

      DmDm
she said I know they're thinkin'
  E minorEm      FF
I'm just the wild thing

Just cause you've got roots
    D MajorD        G+G
Doesn't mean you can't have wings

CHORUS:
    FF   G+G
So she fli---es
    C majorC
soaring where she's never been
 FF         G+G
Reaching out for a life
     A minorAm        C majorC
Grabbin' all she can take in
    FF   G+G     C majorC       FF
And she fli---es like an eagle on the wind

Just cause you've got roots
    G+G         FF        C majorC
Doesn't mean you can't have wings


  C majorC
She moved to Dallas then Frisco Bay

Spent a year in Denver, wound up in L.A.
     FF
Where she met a guy who took her breath away
   C majorC
and said I do!

   C majorC
They had a daughter late next fall

Took a trip back home to show her to mom
   FF
Her mama said I've seen it all
      C majorC
she act's just like you

 DmDm          E minorEm
Rose - when she grows up
     FF
remember one thing

Just cause she's got roots
     C majorC        G+G
Doesn't mean she can't have wings

    FF   G+G
So she fli---es
    C majorC
soaring where she's never been
 FF         G+G
Reaching out for a life
     A minorAm        C majorC
Grabbin' all she can take in
    FF   G+G     C majorC       FF
And she fli---es like an eagle on the wind

Just cause you've got roots
    G+G        FF        C majorC
Doesn't mean you can't have wings

Eb MajorEb     G+G

    FF   G+G
So she fli---es

Reaching out for a life
     A minorAm        C majorC
Grabbin' all she can take in
    FF   G+G     C majorC       FF
And she fli---es like an eagle on the wind

Just cause you've got roots

Doesn't mean you can't have wings


   C majorC
Her mom and dad move to town

In north L.A they settled down

Like most round here, bought a little ground
C majorC
and planted roots.
